Success Rates

Not all IVF clinics offer the same chances of success when it comes to having a baby.

In the past, there has been no easy way to compare IVF clinics to help you decide where you go for treatment.

Thankfully now there is a government-funded website that compares fertility clinics and estimates your chance of treatment success.

www.yourIVFsuccess.com.au compares over 90 clinics in Australia and New Zealand and we are proud to show that Genea Newcastle is one the top clinics across all categories.

Each year all accredited Australian IVF clinics must provide data to the Australian and New Zealand Assisted Reproduction Database (ANZARD). This data is used to calculate success rates in exactly the same way – so success rates are comparable and simple to use.

Clinics are required to share data relating to the number of live births per embryo transfer (when the woman is using her own eggs).

This includes fresh embryo transfers from IVF, ICSI and some PGD tested embryos. It also includes frozen embryo transfers on PGD and PGS tested embryos.

You can see our most recent results here.

The website also has an IVF success estimator where you can estimate your chance of having a baby using IVF.

Genea Newcastle data independently audited and provided directly to Genea Newcastle after review by NPESU in November 2024. Data is based on a woman’s first ever completed egg retrieval cycle performed in one year at Genea Newcastle clinic (2021) with follow-up period to 2022. Age is female age at time the cycle was initiated (based on cycle date). Data includes autologous cycles only (where a woman intended to or used her own eggs).

Births per individual treatment attempt

Genea Newcastle data independently audited and provided directly to Genea Newcastle after review by NPESU in November 2024. Data is based on the chance of a live birth from each individual treatment attempt involving an intended embryo transfer that was started in one year at Genea Newcastle clinic. Cycles initiated in the most recent calendar year where live birth data is nationally reported (2022). Age is female age at time the cycle was initiated (based on cycle date). Data includes autologous cycles only (where a woman intended to or used her own eggs).

Fresh Embryo Transfers – IVF/ICSI

Frozen Embryo Transfers – IVF/ICSI

For information on interpreting the above success rates, the YourIVFSuccess website offers resources to help you. When comparing clinic success rates you should ask if their publicly available success rates are compliant with RTAC guidelines.

It is important to note that age significantly impacts fertility. Very few women over the age of 45 conceive using their own eggs, unless they freeze their eggs or embryos when they are younger, this is represented in the frozen embryo transfer live birth success rates.

It is also important to understand that many factors can contribute to the likelihood of achieving a pregnancy or a live birth such as the cause of infertility, lifestyle (such as weight and smoking) and age. It is important to note that while we are always working towards higher success rates, unfortunately, not every treatment cycle will result in an egg collection, embryo transfer or an outcome where there are embryos available to freeze.

Clinics are required to share data relating to the number of live births per embryo transfer (when the woman is using her own eggs).
